Re: pic: Dual Wheel Swerve-Drive
Stats:
-Each module is made from 1 piece of aluminum.
-Uses 8, 4" Colson Wheels
-Without Banebots & Motors the base is only 6" high
-Each module is aprox. 5x5x5"
-Notched corners will allow it to climb ramps at an angle.
-8 fps., rotated by (2 or 1?) globe motors.
-Weight = ??? (I estimate 50 lbs.)

It’s a work in progress. I hope to make the modules a bit narrower, and I still need to figure out a good chain path to rotate the modules.

It should be pretty simple to build; seeing how it would only need 1 axel and two miter gears to be machined per module. Of course the BB's would require new carrier plates...

Comments and input appreciated.
